Bio
Kristy received her MA in Art History in 2008 and her PhD in Interdisciplinary Learning & Teaching in 2020 from UTSA. She has been teaching survey art history courses for over 15 years and now teaches upper-level courses exploring Picturebooks and Spanish Art History. Her research interests are diverse and span specific content areas within art history, such as late medieval liturgical furnishing from Catalonia and Aragon, as well as the critical teaching of art history, using non-traditional materials such as picturebooks, and within informal environments, such as museums and gallery spaces.
